Give Forward
When you take or receive something nice, you have to pay it back, or better yet, pay it forward in order to restore the natural order. We humans use and, in many cases, abuse nature and natural resources, and if we continue doing that without giving anything in return, soon we will find out there isn't much left for nature to give.
Deforestation, mining, overfishing, overpopulation, overconsumption, and pollution are just some of the human activities that significantly impact the environment and natural order. Over 1 million species are on the brink of extinction.
Each one of us has a duty to do our part to have a positive impact on our planet.
Camponion is a big believer in giving forward - that's why we join causes and organizations that make a positive impact on the planet and environment.
We also help our customers to fulfill their duty of giving forward because you can choose to have a portion of your spending be donated to nonprofits or various causes.
"We have to be the protectors of animals, rivers, and nature."

The Fountain
Currently, Camponion is partnering with The Fountain, a non-profit organization whose work is inspired and guided by the original principles, including Reciprocity, Respect, Responsibility & Relationship. Their initiatives support the flow between sacred economics, sacred territories, and sacred cultures.
The world's ancestral indigenous peoples - whose cultural genesis can be traced back thousands of years - have safeguarded ancestral wisdom, cosmologies, philosophies, and cultures - also known as the "original principles."
The Fountain is working to support the indigenous people and to preserve the root cultures, original languages, customs, ceremonies, and teachings through education, intercultural partnership, and collaboration. Their global initiatives aim to bring balance, sustainability, and restoration of Earth.
Sacred Sites
Worldwide, ancestral Sacred Sites are interconnected. They work together energetically to elevate the capacity of Earth to restore systemic balance. The Fountain works with indigenous elders, local communities, and organizations to support the restoration and protection of Sacred Sites.
What constitutes a sacred site to cultures throughout the world? In monotheistic cultures associated with the West or Global North — the site is typically easy to delineate and perceive. One can point to the walls of a church, mosque or synagogue and say, “That’s a sacred site,” and the reverence held for it is clearly manifested through public behavior and rituals.
On the other hand, an indigenous sacred site might not appear so evident. Uluru in Australia, Sierra Nevada of Santa Marta, the San Francisco Peaks in the United States, Wao Kele o Puna forest in Hawaii or the Ganges River in India are examples of sacred places in nature that each have subtle and different meanings to people of diverse cultures.
To the Western ear, “sacred” may be synonymous with “sacrosanct” — inviolably holy — but to an indigenous culture, a place labeled as “sacred” may instead mean something spiritually alive, culturally essential, or simply deserving of respect. Sacred Land Film Project goes in-depth into this topic and offers many great learning tools.
